A Diagnosis From the Canadian Ixpert That Is Characteristic Wni HFS PREDICTING NO MORE STOEHS Ottawa, Nov. 2t Prof. E. Stone "Wig gins, the Canadian astronomer, was inter viewed regarding the recent eclipse of the moon. "I have nothing to report," said the professor, "but how strange it is that astronomers still talk about the moon hay ing no atmosphere, and yet they never saw a lunar eclipse without witnessing proofs of its existence. During the total submersion Sunday evening the lunar disc was clearly visible, and of the color of smoke. If she possessed no atmosphere, it would have been as invibible as 3 black cat in a dark cellar. Three days after 'new moon we can see the ring of light around her whole globe, which would be impossible if she did not possess an atmosphere to dif fuse the color light, for the sun can illum inate only half of her sphere. The fact is, the moon would be forever invisible did she not possess an atmosphere. "Have you made your views on this sub ject public?" "Yes, hundreds of times. In If 61 I pub lished a book of 300 pages entitled 'The Architecture of the Heavens' to prove that the sun is not a body of heat which imparts light and heat to space, but is a dark body of electricity which creates, by electric force, light and heal iu the atmosphere of the planets. Between the planets there is neither light nor hear. The Fire Theory I.ou;r Ato Abandoned. "It was many years before the old fogy school of astronomers would renounce the'fire theory' and adopt mine. Hut vhile they have at last admitted that the sun's photo sphere is electiic, they still believe that all the space of the solar svstem is illuminated by ths tun. "Why, if this were so the liea ens would be as bright to us at night as by day. This is why we cannot see our second moon, becauseit has no atmosphere to create light by friction with the solar rays. In this same book I also demonstrated that the moon has an atmosphere, and now I begin to see that my labor of 30 years ago is about to bear fruit, for the Lick'telescope has just revealed snow on the summit ot the lunar mountains. "That reminds me that this great tele scope has discovered something peculiar about one of the moons of Jupiter," inter jected the reporter. 'Tes, that it is double. I am very doubt ful of this. If the hemispheres were a few thousand inile apart, one might maintain its position by revolving about the other, but to remain stationary the thing is im possible." "Some of the stars are double, are they not?" "Yes, but the parts revolve round each other. The Lick observers probably have the idea of Dr. Olhers, an astronomer of the last century, in their mind, -without know ing it. He thought that a large planet mut have once revolved in the great space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and that it burst and formed the four asteroids, Ceres, Palla, Vesta and Juno. That idea, however, was abandoned years atro, when we came to discover hun dreds of asteroids, or small planets, in that region. Biclas" comet really did burst into two parts a few years ago. An astronomer was iooking at it through a telescope at that KAUFMANNS' GREAT THANKSGIVING A MOST EXTRAORDINARY MONEY-SAVING OPPORTUNITY FOR MEN'S FINEST We don't think there is anything too sood in the clothing line for our patrons.

The halves gradually receded from each other, and now they are two dis tinct comets with different periods of revoluZ tion. The division was caused by the parts becoming so highlv electrified, and this it was which caused them to recede afterward. A Strong: Electric Bepellant Force. "If such a calamity could happen a planet could not one planet fall upon another, and is it not believed even bv astronomers that the earth will fall into the sun? If our moon were to stop suddenly in her orbit and run toward the earth she would never reach her. It would require some weeks to fall to our nlanet. and then we would have traveled so far that the satellite would fall into another orbit in trying to reach us. Even were the earth and moon sta tionary in space, I very much doubt that they could come together, for their mutual electric force would repel them. Of course, were such a trial to take place, our earth would b'e stripped of all animal life, for the moon's proximity would submerge all our continents. Then the idea of the earth falling into the sun is humbug, and is only originated to scare religious lunatics. Even if the earth stopped in her orbit she would require 13 years to fall into the sun. Even if such an event were now transpir ing we would not notice it; besides, the sun would repel us as he does thecomets, and we would soon be traveling again in the old orbit" "What is our moon's distance from the earth?" asked the reporter. "Our books say, in round numbers, 240, 000 miles, but it is probably nearer 300,000 miles. "We cannot possibly even cuess the distance of any of the heavenly bodies, either from us or from the sun." "You have not predicted any storms for some time, Prof. Wiggins?" "Xo, for all the dangerous storms this autumn are in the eastern hemisphere, which accounts for my silence. I could have shaken tip the British people this year, but did not want any more of the old reward." LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. A colliery explosion in Brussels yester day killed two miners.
